Run Both Existing and New Applications in the Cloud

The vCloud REST-based API provides scripted access to cloud resources, such as vApp upload and download, catalog management, and other operations. vCloud Air supports
Pivotal CF, the leading enterprise Platform as a Service (PaaS), for building and running next-generation applications.

vCloud Air supports a wide variety of Linux and Windows-based Operating Systems plusa broad array of applications to meet every customer need.

Extend Beyond Your Current Data Center

Stretch Your Network Across Your Data Center and Hybrid Cloud
